Iron Into Gold

Iron Into Gold (3:56) Words and music by Philip Scott Poli c2020
Salt sulfur and mercury she keeps in jars
Outside in the moonlight under the stars
And whispers awake a sleeping fire within
She makes the hardness of ground grow soft again

We walk down the main street and friends say oh my
Those tired old fears are gone from his eyes
The mantle of darkness is dissolved in her light
She's like a miracle dawn come to chase away the night
They look and say you know
She's turned iron into gold
Iron into gold

Hey now could it be that she has found the long lost key
to the philosopher’s stone
I tried to make it but now I've got to face this
My heart can't make it all on its own
I don't think I can make it all alone

A miracle dawn and she's leading me home
You know I see the cross of the earth in her style
The crest of the moon in her smile
The disc of the sun shining in her eyes
Take a look and see and you'll know
She turns iron into gold

Salt sulfur and mercury she keeps in jars
Outside in the moonlight under the stars
